Ricky Martin Files $20 Million Lawsuit Against Nephew Who Accused Him of Sexual Abuse

Ricky Martin states he’s been “persecuted, besieged, harassed, stalked and extorted by a maladjusted person” — AKA his nephew — and he’s now taking legal action against the man who made wild allegations against him.

Martin submitted a lawsuit Wednesday in San Juan against Dennis Yadiel Sanchez, who the vocalist claims is attempting to “assassinate” his credibility.

Dennis had actually declared back in July that he had a 7-month long romantic relationship with Ricky, and when it ended Ricky started stalking and bothering him — something Ricky stated was patently incorrect. The nephew had actually submitted a limiting order however when the heat was on him he withdrew the whole thing.

According to the brand-new lawsuit, gotten by TMZ, the nephew hasn’t stopped. Ricky declares a month after Dennis withdrew his limiting order, he started sending out messages to Ricky through Instagram … threatening to “assassinate his reputation and integrity” unless he chipped in money.

Ricky states in the lawsuit prior to Dennis applied for a limiting order, he was openly boasting about being Ricky’s nephew. Ricky states the nephew bombarded him with messages — often more than 10 in a single day — for 4 months.

Ricky states the messages were plainly composed by a “maladjusted individual.”

Ricky states the nephew then went rogue, publishing the vocalist’s telephone number on his Instagram. Ricky states the nephew likewise made an IG represent one of his kids, that made him uneasy.

Ricky states he’s lost many, multi-million dollar offers since of his nephew’s incorrect accusations, and now desires no less than $20 million to compensate the vocalist for his losses.
